This adds to the literature showing restrictive abortion laws increase infant mortality. Don’t let them lie about being “pro-life” when their policies literally kill women and children.

JUST IN: The ACLU has added Andry Hernandez Romero, the openly gay barber/makeup artist, as lead plaintiff in its D.C.-based class action against the Alien Enemies Act. They say the US has "constructive custody" over those held in El Salvador. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

"Some will ask, 'Can you recommend a good pediatrician who does not believe in vaccines?' No, I say, no more than I can recommend a good physicist who does not believe in gravity." -Eleanor R. Menzin, M.D. www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

alright folks, here's my best stab at a roadmap for what to expect out of the next six months to a year of this administration

Kinda insane and shows how afraid the networks are of upsetting this administration that a guy who killed 7 people and wounded 48 with “47” literally tattooed on his face has all but been forgotten like there’s still not a very serious threat emanating from every pore of this pathetic cult

Predominantly Black churches are supporting the effort to preserve the Smithsonian African American history museum after President Trump's order alleging Smithsonian exhibits had disparaged the nation’s history via a “divisive, race-centered ideology.”

Not a historian. Not an anthropologist. Not even an artist. Just an two-bit Fort Lauderdale real estate lawyer turned OAN mouthpiece now tasked with cleansing “improper ideology” from the 21 Smithsonian museums. America, meet your new cultural commissar. #Smithsonian #ExecutiveOrder

Major stakeholders are in the dark about why certain products face tariffs and others don’t. Trump administration officials have given conflicting messages about the tariffs or have declined to answer questions at all. By @robert-faturechi.bsky.social

There is an entire political movement that believes the statement “if you work full-time in America, you should be able to pay your bills and have a savings account with your paycheck” is radical. We must come to an agreement that it’s not radical to demand that.

“But the health center’s administrator, Zachary Moser, said a recent decision to freeze family planning funds has the center fearful it won’t be able to continue covering family planning services for its rural southeastern Missouri population.”

Worth another look: “President-elect Donald Trump does not herald the advent of fascism. He heralds the collapse of the veneer that masked the corruption within the ruling class and their pretense of democracy. He is the symptom, not the disease.” How Fascism Came open.substack.com/pub/chrished...

Confidence is cheap. Competence is rare. We built a culture that can’t tell the difference. Now we’re ruled by influencers in suits. www.theindex.media/americas-nex...

🔥 @ninajankowicz.com to the European Parliament: "Before I describe the details of Russia's recent online influence campaigns, I would like to call upon you to stand firm against another autocracy: The United States of America."

we can continue to devalue tesla and destroy him completely if we keep demonizing him even more

The VA just sent an email out to all employees announcing an Anti-Christian Bias Task Force and asking them to turn in fellow employees for a list of violations. They want them to use Anti-ChristianBiasReporting@va .gov! So you know….

NEW: The VA is establishing an "anti-Christian bias" task force and asking VA employees to submit any instances they witness of anti-Christian bias in the Dept to Christianbiasreporting at va dot gov. They are seeking the following examples.

I dunno Will, maybe the press isn't hitting Trump hard enough on the economy because you spent the last several months specifically arguing that hitting Trump on the economy was a bad line of attack?!?

We need to talk about RFK Jr.’s recent comments on autism. He said: “These are kids who will never pay taxes. They’ll never hold a job. They’ll never play baseball. They’ll never write a poem. They’ll never go out on a date. Many of them will never use a toilet unassisted.”

New from me: It's Not "Anti-DEI" --- It's Pro-Discrimination & Segregation: Rolling Back Six Decades of Antidiscrimination and Fair Housing Policy in the Name of “Anti-DEI” (with quotes from @victorerikray.bsky.social and @jamellebouie.net )

Southern states inaugurated the tradition of declaring Confederate History Month in **1993-4**, not a typo. It corresponded with Lynne Cheney's attack (as former head of the NEH) on what she considered to be overly "politically correct" modes of teaching US History.

Zionists are disparaging Pope Francis on the day of his death, which tells you everything you need to know.

We're accessing the FREE PUBLIC SPACE of the library — which we need to defend with everything we've got — to organize to defend & protect the USPS & mail for the people. You see how that works?

A group of House Democrats is in El Salvador today to advocate for the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Maryland man whom the Trump administration mistakenly deported, with California's Rep. Garcia saying, "This issue is more than about Kilmar. It's about due process in the U.S."

Riggs: We all should be offended that our service members and their families are being targeted the way they are. The people who raise their hands to serve shouldn’t be first in line to lose their ballot just because they happen to be coming from a Democratic county. That’s just not right.

Noah Smith building his reputation as a dry and extremely conventional economic analyst and then pivoting to completely demented foreign policy punditry the moment he had to stop working for an editor is one of the funniest bait-and-switches in modern media

For my Patreon post this week, I wrote about why TERFs are still complaining about not having friends. www.patreon.com/posts/you-ha...

Serious question. Kristi Noem was pictured with a Rolex in El Salvador, and got 3k in cash stolen. She has been on a govt salary for years. Something aint right

As a person who has studied history, an autism registry is a five alarm fire.

NEW: Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves has declared April 2025 as Confederate Heritage Month. He did so at the behest of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, a neo-Confederate organization that espouses “Lost Cause” ideology, which whitewashes the role of slavery in the Civil War. 🧵

Columbia cancelled her course on "Race, Media and International Affairs 101." So she decided to teach it over the summer— online.

Important to note, those who have been placed in involuntary collections will have their tax refunds, social security benefits, and wages garnished.

You should be independently investigating every author of Project 2025, every aide who defies court orders, every communications director repeating lies, every policy writer enabling cruelty, every water boy who keeps this engine running. You can't stop a regime by asking the king to sit down.

The Council for National Policy (CNP) has quietly shaped conservative politics, especially under Trump. With key figures like Steve Bannon and Mike Pence, the CNP’s influence runs deep in judicial appointments, anti-abortion stances, and Christian nationalist agendas. Read more:

Mind-boggling that DHS's official position on this case is genuinely that a US citizen dad from Albuquerque visiting family in Tucson went up to a Border Patrol agent and said "Hi, I'm a Mexican man who entered here illegally, please deport me." Do they think we are dumb?

NEW: 58 corporations facing federal investigations & enforcement lawsuits collectively gave $50 million to Trump's inaugural fund. Cases against 11 of these corporations have already been dismissed or withdrawn, and 6 have been halted. www.citizen.org/news/trumps-...
